Education empowers girls for a bright future

Education empowers girls for a bright future

In Vietnam, growing up as a girl from a poor community, lack of education can lead you to be an easy victim of abuse, trafficking and to become prostitutes.

To support girls in high-risk areas we started a project called “Education Support and Empowerment”, currently offering free school for 15 girls. This is an ongoing commitment and we have to keep these girls in school until they finish their high school/secondary studies.

We aim to reach 35 more girls listed for the next school year.

We provide:

☞ Scholarship, payment of full school tuition per year.☞ Uniforms. ☞ Schools materials.☞ Health insurance.☞ Life skills training.☞ Entertainment events.☞ Direct coordination by AAT in providing the direct support to the beneficiaries and direct payments to the school and other costs.

Why this project is important?

The target group are girls at high risk of abuse, trafficking and to become prostitutes. Mostly they are daughters or sisters of women working in prostitution

The intervention aiming at this population will render positive impacts on the future of these girls avoiding them to be victims of the negatives circumstances among their environment. It gives them the opportunity to continue their education and have a better future. The rationale is to breaking the vulnerable cycle of negative options these children might have in their lives to a positive intervention through education.

Specific objectives

❀ To keep minors out of the risky environment by going to school❀ To provide them the education they need to broaden their career choice in the future❀ To restore their self-esteem❀ To keep empowering them offering life skills knowledge of reproductive health, sex education, risks of exploitation, abuse and trafficking, self defense and making them as confident advocates inside their community.
